About this Property

Nestled in the heart of the Perigord Noir, just moments from the region’s renowned historic landmarks, this exceptional property enjoys a serene setting at the end of a quiet country lane, with a charming tree-lined lane leading up to the house. Built from the area's signature local stone, the residence exudes timeless character and charm from the moment you arrive. Its inviting design is centered around a picturesque courtyard, creating a seamless blend of rustic elegance, warmth, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Dating back to 1647, this historic property is set on an expansive 81,348 m² plot, offering sweeping, unobstructed views of the surrounding forest, countryside and garden. The residence features a spacious entrance hall, multiple beautifully appointed reception rooms filled with original features, and most rooms enjoying double-aspect views that flood the interiors with natural light. A large, well-equipped dining kitchen adjoins a formal dining room, while an office and ground-floor master suites offer added comfort and convenience. With a total of 8 bedrooms spread over two floors, this property presents exceptional potential for personalisation and transformation.

The charming courtyard is surrounded by several outbuildings, including a guest annexe, a garage and spacious barns that could be renovated to create additional accommodation over two levels. A stunning outbuilding overlooking the pool currently serves as a summer kitchen and dining area, providing a superb entertainment space. With ample room to incorporate further habitable accommodation, this space offers a unique opportunity for expansion, if desired (subject to necessary permissions).

The property enjoys breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the land, extending across the house’s extensive grounds and showcasing the unspoiled beauty of the Dordogne countryside. There is a small lake which is fed by a source.

Although the home requires some updating, it offers incredible potential for those seeking to restore and personalise a classic French property. With its expansive land, historic stone construction, and close proximity to local amenities, this rare find presents a unique opportunity to create a distinctive living experience in one of France’s most sought-after regions. The property is located close to a golf course, for those seeking outdoor pursuits.

Dordogne

Le Bugue

Aquitaine

If you want variety, Aquitaine is possibly the place for you. The largest administrative region in France, covering pretty much the whole of the south west corner. It has Atlantic coastal towns and seemingly endless pine forests to the west, the stunning backdrop of the Pyrénées in the south, vineyards (both wine and cognac) in the centre and north, lush pastures and agricultural landscapes in the north east and the most stunning architecture, valleys and villages from the centre towards the east.

Testimonials

    Testimonial by Andrew Cotton

    Having decided to go ahead with our plan to buy an investment property in France, we initially tracked the market across a number of websites and across a wide area covering the Dordogne and the Lot regions. It quickly became clear that the responses we received from the Beaux Villages team were the most helpful and, based on some discussions about what we were looking for, we were able to put an initial viewing trip together. Based on this viewing trip, we narrowed the geographic area of our search and Beaux Villages became the leading agent we spoke to, including arranging some visits to see properties that were not exclusively listed with them, which made the viewing trips easy to arrange and manage. After a second viewing trip, we found our dream property, albeit at a price which was a little over our budget. At this point, the Beaux Villages team helped us navigate the process of understanding what the different stages of the offer and purchasing process would be, what the fees for each aspect would be and allowed us to put together an offer which was rejected initially, but some months later secured us a property we are really pleased, and sometimes a little amazed, to now own. Without the input of Judith Whitlow [, and her husband Kevin,] we would have not had the confidence to navigate the process successfully. Their input, from the initial offer all the way through to the couple of weeks after our purchase went through (when dealing with some of the issues which arise when buying a property abroad), was clear, pragmatic and incredibly helpful. Based on their experience having lived in France for some time and the clarification they could therefore offer on issues which were sometimes difficult to understand and assess, we felt very comfortable making decisions about what is a very significant investment for us. I warmly recommend Judith to anyone considering purchasing a property in France – without them, we would have had a much more difficult time getting to completion.
